Psychological Associates is the only talent management company that uses the Dimensional® Model of Behavior™. It was developed by our co-founders Drs. Robert E. Lefton and V.R. Buzzotta to organize objective, observable behavior into four quadrants.

Organizations can challenge their talent to grow and adapt by adopting optimal behavior patterns. We believe Q4 behavior combines a strong desire for accomplishment with a high regard for people to generate long-term business success.

Take the Behavior Questionnaire to learn how to work more effectively with others.

New Hire Assessment

How do you know a candidate is capable of optimal performance and fits your organization’s culture? Our New Hire Assessment process measures the most relevant core competencies to find an ideal fit.

The value of a New Hire Assessment

There are three key questions to consider before hiring new talent:

Does the candidate have the critical thinking and problem-solving skills to do the job well?

Is the candidate an ideal fit for the identified job competencies and organizational culture?

As a potential leader, how would the candidate perform interpersonally?

Our New Hire Assessment process provides the answers you need. Psychological Associates’ expert Consultants deliver detailed feedback and recommendations based on the identified job requirements and competencies. All findings and recommendations are grounded in results of the carefully selected valid and reliable testing instruments, as well as the experience and insight of the Consultant. We never use pre-scripted or canned feedback. Instead, we use a hands-on approach and give you personalized, in-depth feedback.
